What i learned from my previous groovebox proves to be right , i installed a switch from the main clock to the 208 Music Easel Random Section ...cause when it stops clocking the Uncorrelated Random remains at that random last step .
Other feature i find useful is having one of the excite inputs of the Neural Pulsers at the bottom of the panel where it's easy to tap with your fingers cause one can trigger a neuron in such way (sometimes...) ,along with the potentiometers at the bottom of the panel for easy access it's performance friendly ,while most of the patching is done in the middle of the panel ..
Another GrooveBox is finished. This time with 4× Hagiwo Sampler Drums, CGS Gate Sequencer, Yusynth Pulse Delay, and Buchla 208 Random. Instead of a regular kick and bongo, there are samplers — that’s the main difference from the previous machine. Together they now hold 240 sounds, each 600 milliseconds long at 48kHz.
The enclosure was something I found lying in the mud at the junkyard. It looks like an old fiscal cash register, or maybe some other device. Sometimes you can find boxes from medical equipment there too. Cleaning off the factory-baked paint wasn’t easy, and this machine changed its face several times before I finally completed it.
As always, some things could have been done better.
This is a Home made Groove Box i built . It features Experimental Hardware Neurons from Wiard as the trigger sequencer ,voices include 2 x Hagiwo Samplers ,1 x Hip Bass Drum from Craig Anderton and two NLC Bong0's stripped to only two inputs and an output . There is also 194 Buchla Bandpass Filter and 106 Buchla Mixer ,99dsp Effects from Aliexpress ,a Colorupter Optical Compressor ,and 208 Uncorelated Random from Buchla paired with CD4052 Pattern generator to sequence thru the sample select or sample banks .
